Leeland Mooring (of the band Leeland) has written songs that are sung all over the world—like “Lion and the Lamb,” “Where you Are,” “Way Maker,” and “Carried to the Table.“ From Open Skies Netherlands, Jonathan talks with Leeland about where the melodies come from, the mystery of how particular art can only be created in particular places, and what it means to listen to your own life.

Reading Random Old Books out of Context with Lucy Grimble Aug 16, 2019

Show notes

In a world in which there is so much false advertising, here is something that is PRECISELY what it sounds like it would be. Yes, in this conversation with London singer/songwriter Lucy Grimble, there is also talk of miracles and the like. But our hope is that you will all walk away talking about “crab hands.”
